Unfortunately, as far as we can tell, it is a fantasy simply because, as Albert Einstein and others have shown, objects cannot travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).

The reason is as an object goes faster and faster, its mass increases; and as the object approaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite, thus requiring an infinite force to accelerate an infinite mass.

However, there may be hope.

Some scientists believe there is a particle called a TACHYON (which means “swift” in Greek) that can travel faster than light and cannot be slowed down.

If so, we could send messaging telemetry to other parts of the galaxy in days rather than thousands of years, and see if there really are little green people out there.

So far, however, we have not found the elusive TACHYON and Little Green People are still make believe….
